four hundred thousand eggs

four hundred thousand eggs

Uncomplicated in character, the egg functions on both a symbolic and metaphorical level, suggesting a female sensibility: an organic form that speaks of fertility, conception and the potential for life. Yet these images evoke discord: scratchy, angular and damaged marks replace the assumed soft, healthy, fluid lines. Our fragility as time passes is reflected in the fragility of the egg, although the lines and images are robust.
